The Starless Crown
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
"The story touches on many familiar fantasy plot points — magic, an ancient language, an ability to commune with wild creatures, a climactic battle between the forces of good and evil — yet manages to be satisfying. It's aided by a capable reading from Barber, who invests Rollins' characters with a variety of British accents that help make each a distinguishable, real person."- The Providence Journal
This audiobook includes a special introduction written and read by James Rollins.
An alliance embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the secrets of the distant past and save their world in this captivating, deeply visionary adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling thriller-master James Rollins.
A gifted student foretells an apocalypse. Her reward is a sentence of death.
Fleeing into the unknown she is drawn into a team of outcasts:
A broken soldier, who once again takes up the weapons he's forbidden to wield and carves a trail back home.
A drunken prince, who steps out from his beloved brother's shadow and claims a purpose of his own.
An imprisoned thief, who escapes the crushing dark and discovers a gleaming artifact - one that will ignite a power struggle across the globe.
On the run, hunted by enemies old and new, they must learn to trust each other in order to survive in a world evolved in strange, beautiful, and deadly ways, and uncover ancient secrets that hold the key to their salvation.
But with each passing moment, doom draws closer.

A young woman discovers her foreboding destiny in this fun but one-dimensional fantasy adventure from Rollins (A Kingdom of Bones). Nyx, a nearly blind student at the Cloistery of Brayk, survives an attack by monstrous Mýr bats, vicious swamp beasts with lethal venom. But rather than killing Nyx, their venom miraculously restores her vision and imparts a premonition of Moonfall, an impending apocalypse. When Highking Toranth ry Massif learns of Nyx’s survival, he demands to have her brought to his castle; her blood could prove valuable to his physicians and he fears she’s connected to the legend of the Forsworn Knight, whose alleged child was prophesied to be the cause of the kingdom’s downfall. As Toranth hunts for her, Nyx flees with a team of unlikely allies on a perilous journey to find her alleged father, determined to stop Moonfall before darkness takes them all. Though the fantastical creatures and landscapes are imaginative, the fast-paced but shallow narrative takes the easy road by concentrating on a series of chilling beast encounters for Nyx and her party rather than exploring the tension between characters. Readers looking for plot-driven fantasy will enjoy the action but shouldn’t expect much depth.

Though myth claims Urth once revolved, in living memory humanity has only known the Crown--the meridian between deadly hemispheres of sun-scorched fire and endless ice. Listeners meet Nyx, once a foundling, now a teenager whose dreams presage apocalypse. A large, diversely described cast of entertaining misfits come together to help her survive and save the world. SFF fans may wonder at Urthlings having attained civilizations rich enough to support hereditary monarchies, religious cloisters, and commercial airship passenger transit in such a harsh place. A blistering pace and action-packed plot in this series launch divert attention from such wondering well enough, and Rollins (The Last Odyssey) implies answers in future installments. Sounding slightly too mature as Nyx, Nicola Barber nonetheless finds authentic voices for the motley crews of underdog heroes and scene-chewing villains and ramps up the suspense of many a set piece. Rollins reads the introduction, a fun enhancement unique to audio. VERDICT This rapid-fire fantasy is recommended for libraries with large, well-circulating SFF collections.--Lauren Kage
